Book Review: The Wicked King by Holly Black

The Wicked King (The Folk of the Air, #2)The Wicked King by Holly Black
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Hello there, Miss Holly Black, how are you? How's life? You're going good? Okay.

Oh, Cardan, you're here as well? Okay. Alright.

I only have a couple words for y'all since THIS BOOK BROKE ME IN A MILLION PIECES AND I PROBABLY WILL BE BROKEN FOR A DAY OR TWO BECAUSE I'M THAT BROKEN...



CARDAN...WHAT THE FUCK MAN. WHY DID YOU DO THAT TO HER. YOU LOVED HER DAMMIT WHY DID YOU EXILE HER LIKE YOU DID?!

Okay, Brittany, calm down, and let's explain the book review before you start cursing out everyone in this book...

So this book was about Jude being the senschal to the High King of Faerie, Cardan Greenbriar, for a year and a day. She has been working behind the scenes to make sure Cardan's rule goes perfect in a year and a day, and also to make sure the throne is perfect for her little brother, Oak. But...BUT...things don't go well as she thought. Well for once, Cardan is nearly killed by an arrow that was shot by Nicasia, two, someone close to Jude will betray her, which turned out to be the Bomb...WHO WORKED FOR FUCKING PRINCE BALEKIN, WHOM I HATE WITH EVERY PART OF MY DAMN BEING AND WANTED TO FIGHT WITH TINY HANDS.

Because OMG he was a clever Prince, siding with the Folk of the Undersea to take Jude, and then tried to glamour her into doing whatever he wanted, which one of them was kill Cardan so he can take the throne, but that didn't happen because of the geas Prince Dain gave to Jude so she wouldn't be glamoured. So she goes back, just in time to marry Cardan and become Queen of Elfhame, right?

Hurray!

But...but that didn't happen.

Oh, no, no, no.

Because ONE, Taryn tricked Cardan when he was fucking poisoned so Jude's father, Madoc, can fucking strike out against the crown, like what the fuck, TWO, CHAPTER FUCKING FIFTEEN and THREE, Cardan exiling Jude for the duel against Balekin, which resulted in his death.

And yes, that's why I'm saying fuck you, fuck this, fuck that, fuck him, fuck you CARDAN.
